My setup is following.
P2V helper VM - network adapter 1: same subnet as the vCenter ; vCenter is accessible; individual host are pingable; name resolves; hosts files updated; i can putty too.
network adapter 2: same subnet X as the source physical server ; p2v helper can see the physical - RDP to it, ping it etc.
Source: Physical Server - subnet X
When I try to do conversion I am get past the configuration part and it fails at 1%. I do the the VM being created and deleted.
" An error occurred while opening a virtual disk. Verify that the converter server and the running source machines have a network access to the source and destination ESX/ESXi hosts""
Its been long since I did p2v. My understanding was that I can use the p2v helper as a conduit to move the copy ? Maybe I am very far from the truth. Dose source have to have access to hosts? Unfortunately, its not that simple to configure in my case.
